Keep You Brain Busy
Keeping your brain busy can help to stave off dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, which is rampant in the US. In Fact, it is said that learning a second language triggers receptors in the brain that help fight off both of these problems. That is not for everyone though, but puzzles and games are a good way of keeping your brain alert.
If You Are Tired, Sleep
As we get older our sleep patterns can change. We still need 7 – 9 hours in each 24 to maintain optimum health, but it is not unusual for older people to have a couple of hours in the afternoon, and a shorter sleep at night. Basically, you should listen to your body and if you are tired, have a nap.
